I have been a member since 2009. Any issues I have had were dealt with though the positives have always outweighed the bad. I am pleased that Amazon offers 5 monthly payments to select customers. It seems random as to who gets the ability to do this. It is only on certain items and it appears to be for members in good standing. In the past I have gotten a high end video card, computer, camera lenses etc etc and had access to the monthly payments with no interest. Sometimes I use the whole five months other times I pay it off after a single month. I appreciate the trust that Amazon has allowed me to do this on occasion.
I also use prime video to watch whatever I am in the mood for on my days off from work while I am working on digital art creation or just relaxing. My monthly cost for the prime membership is fair for what I have access to. I also appreciate all of the Amazon drivers I have come in contact with on receiving my deliveries as they are polite even after a long day. This is just my experience as other people may have different experiences. 99.99% of the time I find what I want even if somewhat obscure. The important thing is to always read the description and double check your order. Common sense still has a place in this day and age, even online.
